Is the packaging efficiency of multiple processes low? The film wrapping and strapping machine allows the whole pallet to be shipped "tightly wrapped and tied" in one step

In the pallet shipping process of manufacturing, logistics warehousing, e-commerce, electrical appliances, food and other industries, the packaging process usually involves two key actions: one is to wrap and fix the goods as a whole with stretch film to prevent loose packages during transportation; the other is to use a strapping machine to apply straps to the pallet or goods to strengthen the overall structure and prevent the pallet from shifting or the goods from moving. However, in traditional operations, these two actions are often completed separately by different equipment, or there is a lot of manual participation, which is not only inefficient, but also has problems such as tight but unstable film wrapping and slow and inaccurate strapping. In order to improve the overall packaging efficiency and packaging quality, more and more companies have begun to use film wrapping and strapping machines. By integrating the wrapping and strapping processes into an automatic process, the "wrapping + bundling" can be completed in one step, the efficiency is doubled, the labor is halved, and the packaging is more solid and reliable.

The film wrapping and strapping machine is an integrated automated packaging equipment that integrates the pallet wrapping film packaging system and the sword-piercing strapping equipment. It can automatically complete multi-layer wrapping of the entire pallet of goods and reinforce and fix them with PP or PET strapping tape. The equipment has a compact structure, continuous operation, and adjustable parameters. It is widely used in pallet-type shipments in the form of carton stacking, bottles, barrels, plates, soft bags, etc., and is particularly widely used in the upgrade of factory automated packaging systems.

Take a daily chemical product manufacturing company in Jiangsu as an example. Its products need to be shipped more than 800 pallets per day. In the past, it was necessary to manually operate the film wrapping machine and then transfer to an independent strapping device for strapping reinforcement. The overall shipping process has high personnel deployment pressure and low packaging efficiency. After the film wrapping is completed, the production line efficiency is affected due to waiting for strapping. Since the introduction of the film wrapping and strapping machine, the company has integrated the entire pallet packaging process into the same equipment, and the packaging time per pallet has been compressed from the original 5 minutes to 90 seconds, with stable efficiency, unified packaging standards, and 2 fewer people. The packaging quality and delivery efficiency have been improved simultaneously.

In terms of equipment structure, the film wrapping and strapping machine is mainly composed of a turntable or rocker film wrapping, a film frame pre-stretching system, a sword-threading and strapping module, a belt head clamping and welding device, a pallet sensing system, and a PLC control unit. The film wrapping system supports an adjustable winding mode up and down, and the film frame is equipped with a power pre-stretching mechanism, which can conventionally reach a 250% stretching ratio, improve the film compactness, and save consumables; the strapping system adopts a sword-threading method, which can automatically complete the strip feeding, tensioning, hot-melt connection and tail cutting through the gap at the bottom of the pallet, and complete the whole process with one click, without manual threading or assistance.

At the operational level, the equipment uses a human-machine interface operation screen, which can set parameters such as the number of winding circles, turntable speed, number of strapping circles, strapping position, and strapping tension according to different goods. It supports free switching of multiple sets of packaging programs, which is convenient for coping with the packaging needs of multiple batches and categories of goods. The whole machine runs stably, and has functions such as automatic film break alarm, insufficient tape prompt, safety emergency stop and fault prompt, ensuring the safe, efficient and continuous operation of the equipment.

It is worth mentioning that the film wrapping and strapping machine is particularly outstanding in the stability, aesthetics and consistency of the overall packaging product. After packaging, each pallet of goods has a neat appearance, the film layer is fitted, and the strap position is accurate, which effectively avoids the problems of loose packages, offsets and film layer displacement caused by improper strapping position and different tightness of film wrapping during transportation. It is particularly suitable for export goods, large e-commerce orders, and production enterprises with high requirements for unified delivery standards.

In addition, the equipment also supports seamless docking with front-end stacking robots, conveyor lines, and weighing systems to build an automatic packaging island, realizing unmanned continuous operation from "stacking completion-film wrapping-taping-labeling-out of warehouse". The film wrapping and strapping machine not only improves packaging efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the transportation link and the customer's receiving experience. It is a key tool for modern factories to achieve packaging and management upgrades.
